It's been over a year since I posted here. I promise a real update soon. Currently working on my SIL's shawl, she lives in Alaska. :)

Another view here!

Sorry for being lax on posting

Wow it's been since April since my last post! :-O Woops!

What have I been working on? My niece Noelle's giant granny square afghan (her Christmas gift) as well as I just began an easy table runner for our coffee table in the living room. And eventually I need to get 10-12 skeins of yarn to make a Sweet Sweater since it's a hit at Plus Sized Crochet yahoogroup.

The fall and winter always is perfect for making crochet stuff! I hope to make a table runner for a few family members as Christmas gifts.

Shaded Blanket

I seen in Lion Brand´s latest e-newsletter, a gorgeous ripple pattern...

My first ever crocheted toddler's glove!
Originally uploaded by Heather K-L

I have to share something! Today I crocheted a pair of gloves for my son Alex, since he always seems to misplace his either in the car or somewheres around this apartment. So I got some teal and some black acrylic yarn, and got a G hook out, and whipped up a pair - my FIRST EVER attempt to making stuff other than blankets, scarves and granny squares! I learned how to increase and decrease in single crochet and it was neat! They may not look like the best but they suit their purpose and Alex loves them. He just said, "Dom är så mjuka, Mamma!" which means "They are so soft, Mom!" in Swedish. (He prefers Swedish and oftentimes mixes the two languages together in sentences. hehe)

Oh and I am so proud, he can count up to 10 already! I guess with the 1-10 wooden puzzle we play with and some Playhouse Disney shows (Mickey's Clubhouse, Small Einsteins) that do counting, he's learned!
